Beautiful gold design work really enhances the Jean Pouyat, Limoges pieces. Based on my research regarding the makers mark, it is likely that these pieces were originally whiteware made by the Jean Pouyat company and then decorated elsewhere. So, I can't speak for them being originals decorated at the factory of Jean Pouyat. I can say that they are absolutely gorgeous in the use of gold designs throughout. A rare find--nothing else like these on Ebay. Dishes measur...e 5" in diameter and stand 1.75" tall. There are a few small marks--one tiny red dot under glaze, a tiny pit and some small bumps under glaze but no chips, no cracks, no crazing. PayPal only for payment, please. Thanks.
